Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 cups Broccoli florets
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 0.5 teaspoons Garlic powder
- 0.25 teaspoons Paprika
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Pepper
- 4 slices Slices of bread
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 0.75 cups Cheddar cheese (sliced or shredded)
- 2 tablespoons Greek yogurt
- 1 teaspoons Dijon mustard
- 0.5 teaspoons Lemon juice
- 0.25 teaspoons Crushed red pepper flakes
Instructions
Preheat your oven to 425°F (220°C).
Place the broccoli florets on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Drizzle with olive oil, then sprinkle with garlic powder, paprika, salt, and pepper. Toss to coat evenly.
Roast the broccoli in the preheated oven for 15-20 minutes, stirring halfway through, until tender and slightly crispy.
While the broccoli is roasting, prepare the sauce by mixing Greek yogurt, Dijon mustard, lemon juice, and crushed red pepper flakes in a small bowl. Set aside.
Butter one side of each slice of bread. Assemble the sandwiches by spreading the yogurt-mustard sauce on the unbuttered side of two slices of bread.
Layer the roasted broccoli and cheddar cheese evenly on top of the sauce-covered bread slices. Top each with the remaining bread slices, buttered side facing outward.
Heat a skillet or griddle over medium-low heat. Place the sandwiches in the skillet and cook for 3-4 minutes per side, pressing gently with a spatula, until the bread is golden brown and the cheese is melted.
Remove the sandwiches from the skillet, let them cool slightly, and then slice in half. Serve warm and enjoy your broccoli-packed creation!
